The new university was successful in the public tender “Strengthening the role of career centers in the holistic treatment of students”.
The subject of the public tender is the co-financing of the further operation and upgrading of the career centers of higher education institutions by promoting adapted forms of assistance to special groups of students.
Among the special groups of students we include students with a special status, students with special needs, students in distress that may have a negative impact on mental health, students who are subject to violence, which means interference with a person’s physical and psychological integrity (domestic violence, sexual violence , sexual harassment, bullying or mistreatment, etc.), students with caring responsibilities, students with other personal circumstances and other non-traditional groups of students. Traditional students are students who enter higher education directly after finishing high school, while non-traditional students are those students who have already entered the labor market and often have a family, which represents for them an additional coordination of student and private life (due to family or taking care of parents, etc.).
The public tender includes three activities:
The activity focuses on the ability to identify specific groups of students who would need special or additional help and special treatment in order to offer support during their studies. The beneficiary must establish a working group that will work professionally and, by determining and directing activities, help to establish a system for identifying special groups of students. At the end of the projects, an established system is expected, and the beneficiary must prepare a document describing the established system and recommendations or defining incentives for their inclusion.
In addition to the basic mission of the career centers, i.e. offering career counseling to all undergraduate and postgraduate students, the activities will also include:
Pupils, students and graduates are invited to participate in all activities within the project, which are free of charge. For counseling options, please contact the staff of the NU Career Center and its members via e-mail: kariernicenter@nova-uni.si and make an appointment for counseling. All activities within the framework of the project Strengthening the role of CC in the holistic treatment of students are designed in such a way that their continuous and permanent implementation will be enabled even after the end of the project.
The public tender for the selection of operations is partially financed by the European Union, namely from the European Social Fund. The operation is carried out within the framework of the Operational Program for the implementation of European cohesion policy in the period 2014-2020, priority axis: 10. Knowledge, skills and lifelong learning for better employability; priority investments: 10.1 Improving equal access to lifelong learning for all age groups in formal, informal and informal forms of learning, updating the knowledge, skills and competences of the workforce and promoting flexible forms of learning, including through career counseling and validation of acquired competences, specific objective: 10.1 .3 Promotion of flexible forms of learning and support for quality career orientation for young people in school at all levels of the education system.

We are not alone on the labour market. In addition to us, more and more experienced, talented and educated people are competing for jobs. This is why it is prudent to start planning own career paths early enough to ensure appropriate employment.
There are many definitions of the term career in the literature. Daniela Brečko, PhD stresses in her book Career Planning as a Dialogue Between the Individual and the Organization (Načrtovanje kariere kot dialog med posameznikom in organizacijo) that career is simply “a life path where we no longer differentiate between the professional and the private life”. The author believes that especially with the emergence of new work forms, such as voluntary work and work at home, the definition of career has changed considerably, which leads to us being unable to differentiate between career, career development and life itself.
Career is often a sequence of work and a set of activities that include elements of promotion, self-realization and personal development in a given period. We need to understand that career planning relates primarily to learning about own skills, interests, abilities and values, setting goals and designing of plans to achieve such goals. This is a process where an individual analyses own abilities, skills, values and beliefs and establishes realistic goals.
It is in the interest of the society that young people discover the profession that is in accordance with their interests, abilities and the situation on the labour market and that after completing their education, they get a job as soon as possible. This provides them with own development of potential and professional performance, which is why career planning is recommended already during study.
Career success and the extent of success largely depend on our personal traits, abilities, skills, expertise, values and goal-setting. We do not leave career planning to chance. Take your career path into your hands and start planning. “If an individual does not plan their career, the career will plan them” says Daniela Brečko.
The long-term goal of each student is a successful employment upon graduation. Everyone is looking for employment at least once in their lives. This is a very important life step because it represents taking responsibility for own professional and career development, as well as for material independence and social security. The path to the first employment is even more demanding because it means the first direct contact with the labour market and its laws.
Work experience is an important building block when searching for the first employment. Sometimes, the lack of work experience is the one obstacle that prevents young people to successfully find first employment. However, this is not always the case. Students too often forget that various forms of occasional work or practice in the course of studies are a source of work experience, which can be used to successfully penetrate to the labour market. Today, many educational programmes offer voluntary or mandatory practice to students during their studies and a lot of students decide to perform various occasional work during their studies. These forms of work can be a source of experience, which is why it is important to select working environments that are compatible with your career goals.
Finding first employment often is not easy, which is why career centres, employment consultants from recruitment agencies and other online forms of information help you in your endeavours. The more information you have, the more successful your penetration to the labour market will be.
“An effective search for employment requires organization and strategy. In order to successfully pursue employment opportunities, you need certain “work tools”, which are successfully used in the search for employment. It is even more important to define your wishes and interests that you are looking for in work. This way, you will not be mindlessly looking for any job or field of work, but only the job and field of work you see yourself in and where you will be satisfied.”
Search for employment is carried out in different ways and by using various methods. Methods in the search for employment include formal or informal and direct or indirect search. Formal search of employment means that job seekers act in accordance with pre-planned rules and procedures when obtaining information about employment opportunities. The opposite applies to the informal search for employment where job seekers do not use formalized methods and procedures. In the indirect search for employment, you have help from intermediaries, especially from relatives, acquaintances, friends, the media and institutions dealing with the provision of employment information. Direct search for employment means a direct contact of the job seeker with the employer, whether in writing or in person.
A variety of search methods are useful in the search for employment, representing various combinations of search methods described above. These include in particular personal contacts, applications, assistance of employment services, help from recruitment agencies, references, visiting companies or organizations, etc.
It is important for young people to appropriately prepare for the search of first employment. An effective and indispensable tool in the search for employment is a good resume, which reflects work experience, references, education, knowledge and other skills that could interest the employer.

A student becomes an alumni member of the New University the moment he or she graduates from any faculty, its member or associate member, or from any of its undergraduate or postgraduate study programs. Likewise, members of the Alumni Association of the New University are automatically all graduates who graduated from member faculties of the New University before it was founded. Of course, every graduate is allowed to decide for himself whether and to what extent he wants to be really active within the Alumni Association (e.g. what types of information he wants to receive at his address, which areas of cooperation he might be interested in, and which circumstances and innovations from he wants to share his life with other members of the Alumni Association). The latter is stated in the attached Statement.
Collective members of the Alumni Association are also all Alumni clubs, societies and groups that connect graduates of a certain faculty, province or study generation, or are founded on their own initiative by graduates who want to connect for some other reason.
The Nova University already has more than 3,400 graduates who connect to the Nova University Alumni community through the Nova University Alumni Association (AZNU) and the Alumni Clubs of the member faculties, with the aim of:
The operation of the Alumni Association is guided by the Rulebook, which regulates the organization of the Alumni Association and the starting points for relations with its members, and the Code of Ethics, which declares the vision and values of the Alumni Association, in the expectation that as many of its members as possible should respect and enforce them according to their conscience.
The Center for Career Development and International Mobility, as an internal organizational unit of the university, is responsible for coordinating the activities of the Alumni Association of the New University.
